Teens' Gender Neutral Bathroom Selfie Goes Viral For All The Right Reasons

Searching for a little bit of decency in the world? This tweet might help.

For someone who identifies as transgender, intersex or is a gender nonconforming individual, despite advances in acceptance, life is still very difficult, especially when it comes to going to the restroom.

So when 19-year-old student Julissa Emile discovered that location of her school's collegiate poetry slam competition in Chicago featured a gender neutral bathroom, she decided to celebrate — by taking a picture of herself in there, of course.

But that's when something even better happened, as more and more people joined in on the photo to create a beautiful symbol of inclusivity.

Speaking with Buzzfeed News, Emile explains that she was “just taking selfies in this amazing bathroom and then my friend Madaline joined me, and then Ellie and Lucas and Jeffry came in.”

The concept of the photo series is being compared to the famous meme and Youtube style called “Replacement Remixes,” where every time a word gets repeated the video either accelerates or gets replaced by a sound or word.

You can even put this tweet in line with another huge meme that took over the internet earlier this year, after a far-right Twitter user posted a photo of two people on public transit and captioned it “the future that liberals want.”
